The DARCO Posterior Splint is comprised of
a firm plastic shell lined with a soft dense
foam. The splint is available in three angular positions (90°, 90° Plus and 110°). This allows the
caregiver to provide individual stabilization
to the patient appropriate to the indication.

The splint is light weight for easy use and
anatomically formed to create an optimized
fit. At the same time, it is inherently stable
without being too rigid.

Hook and loop strips along the back of the splint
allow for slip-free secure bandaging.

The soft closed-cell foam liner offers the
patient a comfortable fit, even when used
for longer periods of time.

The DARCO Posterior Splint is
a ready-to-use backing splint that
can be used in any care phase
(even during radiological examinations).

The DARCO Posterior Splint was developed by German foot and ankle surgeons along
with orthopaedic technicians in order to adapt to the individual needs of patients and health
care providers.

Direct postoperative use in the operating room means that tedious plastering or warming
and shaping of a splint is no longer required. This dramatically reduces the costly minutes
in the post-surgical phase.

The DARCO Posterior Splint is fitted after the surgical wound has been dressed. Placed
on the posterior side of the lower leg and then secured with conventional gauze bandages.
It is recommended to begin winding the bandage from the plantar aspect of the splint
in an upward direction from distal to proximal.

Please note: Under specific situations; patients
with a shortened calf muscle, notable
Haglund'sdeformity or a posterolateral
exostosis, the DARCO Posterior Splint may
potentially aggravate the area and cause
pressure points.

Note: an inexpensive pad is often used in practice to shield and protect the Splint from bodily fluids.
